25. Fulfilling the Prophecy

Chapter 25: Fulfilling the Prophecy

Kenny looked at Tammy, shocked.

"Tammy? You're the spy?"

Tammy smirked. "Yes, I am. I was the one who's been spying on you each night."

"But why? I thought we loved each other!"

Tammy's smirked widened. "Are you that stupid? I was just using you so that I could tell the leader what you were doing!" She looked at the leader. "Shall we proceed with the ritual?"

The leader nodded. Tammy ran at Kenny, throwing a punch, but Kenny blocked it, twisted her around and put her in a headlock. He looked at the leader. "Tell me what this prophecy is about now! What does this have to do with me? Why do I have these powers?"

The leader sighed. "This prophecy is one we've waited for about a millennium. It tells about the return of the dark god Cthulhu, and the one chosen to release him from the city of R'lyeh. You, Kenny McCormick, are the chosen one."

"How did I get these powers?"

"When you were born, we sacrificed you on the altar to Cthulhu. You went to the city of R'lyeh and gained the power of immortality...and the rest of Cthulhu's powers."

"You sacrificed me when I was only a baby? Why?"

The leader nodded to his parents. "Ask them. They're the ones who brought you to us."

Kenny looked at the leader and then at his parents. "Explain."

"We didn't know what we were getting into!" said Stuart. "We only wanted free beer!"

"You mean to tell me that you sacrificed me so that you could get free beer? What the heck is wrong with you? What are you, beer-obsessed child-sacrificing maniacs? You disgust me."

He turned back to the leader. "I assume you're going to kill me again to resurrect Cthulhu? You know that won't work...you're the ones who made me immortal, remember?"

"Who said anything about killing you? We just need your blood," the leader said, nodding to Tammy. She kneed Kenny in the groin and cut his finger as he fell to the ground. The leader took the knife and held in in front of the inverted pentacle on the floor. "We offer this blood to the dark god, Cthulhu." He lowered the knife to the inverted pentacle and started chanting. "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die."

The blood on the knife wobbled and fell on the center of the inverted pentacle with a splash. The prophecy had been fulfilled.
